Glow-worms are most often found as larvae, living under rocks on chalk or limestone grassland, and feeding on slugs and snails. Gardens, hedgerows, railway embankments, woodland rides, heathlands and cliffs are all possible habitats for Glow-worms.

Where are glow worms from?

Glow worms, typically found in New Zealand and Australia, cover cave ceilings and undisturbed woodland areas where they hunt for prey using their alluring blue glow and a long thread of sticky web. As they fish for food, glow worms create an astonishing sea of starry lights.

Do glow worms live in water?

Glow worms live in dark, wet environments, preferably in caves if they can find them, although on the Gold Coast of Queensland they don't have any caves to live in, so the local species, Arachnocampa flava are usually found beside waterfalls.
